The cicadas are chirping louder and louder, and summer vacation is getting closer.
School of Finance campus, faculty and staff dormitory.
"Our Zhejiang University branch is very popular, even hotter than summer. The boss's marketing methods for the opening are really amazing, especially the small fans, more than 10,000 of which are all glowing. If you go to Zhejiang University, you will see that almost every student walking on the campus is waving one!"
Kang Baohong was beaming with joy.
After the Zhejiang University branch opened, he has been managing it there for some time and can deeply appreciate how popular it is.
Although it has only been open for about half a month, it feels like it is at its peak.
There are a constant stream of customers in the store every day.
In the shortest possible time, Su Zelin used the sentimental card to shape the concept of a brand in this university, which will also bring something very important to New Century - customer stickiness.
Just because of the brand name of this store, and if the prices are not too different, many Zhejiang University students will choose this digital store instead of the computer mall.
College students, especially top students, pay more attention to the quality. In their eyes, New Century is a brand with quality and sentiment, while Computer City is nothing more than a vulgar and money-conscious shop.
Although not many people have come to get the machine since the opening, it is already much better than expected.
The most important thing is that with such high popularity, we can fully expect a peak in machine distribution at the beginning of the next semester, and the Zhejiang University branch will bring in huge profits.
Based on the comparison of the number of students at Zhejiang University and the School of Finance, as well as the previous revenue of the School of Finance store, preliminary estimates show that the profit is expected to exceed 300,000 within just ten days after the start of the next semester.
However, we still have to wait patiently for more than two months until the summer vacation is over.
Dai Chuangxing took a sip of tea and said, "Zhou Fuliang called me a few days ago and said that your store is doing very well, especially the sentences on the fans are very imaginative. If you are free next semester, we can come out for a cup of tea together."
His classmate, the president of Zhejiang University, happened to be a professor of philosophy, and those golden quotes that dominated the BBS for quite a while aroused Zhou Fuliang's interest.
If it was just one or two sentences, it would be fine, but the key is that there are hundreds of sentences. From his perspective as a professor of philosophy, this is a bit unbelievable.
It was for this reason that the president of Zhejiang University also wanted to meet the boss behind the digital store to see what kind of person he was. This was a pleasant surprise for Su Zelin.
However, it is the end of the semester and Zhou Fuliang is very busy with his work, so he is not free for the time being.
“That’s great!”
Su Zelin was delighted.
He originally thought that it would take some time before he could personally get to know the president of Zhejiang University, but he didn't expect it to happen faster than he imagined.
Kang Baohong admired him very much.
The young boss is really capable. Relying on a marketing idea, he not only opened a branch, but also had the opportunity to have tea with a figure like the president of Zhejiang University.
People who are educated and have brains are different.
The general manager's previous opinion that studying was useless has now completely changed because of Su Zelin. He feels that if he has the chance in the future, he should go to night school or something like that to further his studies and learn more about culture to enrich himself. Otherwise, as the business grows bigger and bigger in the new century and the brand image is so impressive, he, as the general manager, will be like a bumpkin and out of tune with it.

School of Finance campus, public course classroom.
The holiday is about to start, and the homeroom teacher Yao Hui holds the last class meeting of this semester.
Before the head teacher showed up, the classroom was bustling because the final exam had just ended and everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.
The main courses studied in the first year are still public basic courses.
The courses for financial management last semester were "Political Economics", "College English", "Advanced Mathematics", "Ideology and Moral Cultivation and Legal Basis", "Computer Culture Basics", etc.
The next semester is about the same, including "Outline of Modern Chinese History", "Military Theory", "Calculus", "Linear Algebra"... and a few more public courses related to the major, such as "Principles of Management", "Microeconomics" and "Macroeconomics".
In addition, you have to choose some elective courses to make up the credits.
Public elective courses are about 10 credits and basically anyone can choose them.
Professional elective courses are usually only available to students of the major. Most of them are professional courses, and the total credit requirement is more than 20 points.
The credit requirement for elective courses is a hard indicator for graduation. If you do not complete all of them, you will not be eligible to graduate no matter how well you do in other courses.
Although college life is easy, some people are happy while others are worried after the exams.
Those who study hard don’t have to worry, but those who skip classes to play computer games all day will have a headache.
The final transcript will be sent directly home during the holidays. Some students who perform poorly in the exams and know that they will have to retake the course will think about how to get it. Otherwise, their parents will receive the transcript and they will be beaten and scolded. This is something that these idiots did a lot in their previous lives, but they don't have to do it in this life.
Because he was the class monitor, he was able to set an example. Although he did not attend self-study, he attended classes every day. This was enough for him to cope with the exams and even get quite good grades. Naturally, he did not need to intercept the school's emails.
"How did you do on the test?"
The girl from 501 and the boy from 302 were communicating with each other.
"The other subjects are fine, but Calculus is a headache for me. I think this subject is too difficult and I'm afraid my score won't be high!"
Hu Xu was a little worried.
He wasn't going to fail the course, but he hoped his grades could be as good as possible.
Among the people in the dormitory, Lao Wu is the one who studies the hardest because of his poor family background, because he knows that only studying can change his destiny.
He also learned that Cen Jing's family was well-off. If he could not graduate with excellent performance and find a good job during his school years, it would be difficult for him to be worthy of her.
"I am most worried about college English. My English was terrible in high school. It's so annoying!"
Even though Zeng Kaiping was online all day to hook up for sex, he still attended classes as usual. In addition, before the exam, the energetic young man also suspended contact with the concubines and concentrated on self-study for half a month. Even if his grades were not very good, they were not particularly bad. At least he should have no problem passing other subjects. He was just worried that he would need to retake the College English exam.
"I really envy you, Third Brother. English is a piece of cake for you, right? Besides, I've never seen you study on your own, but you can be so good at other subjects!"
As both of them are relatively lazy, they just attend classes normally. But comparison makes one feel frustrating. The energetic young man does poorly in all subjects, while Su Zelin has top grades.
"Yeah, I really don't know what's wrong with this guy's brain. I think we need to send it to scientists for slices and research!"
Luo Xi joined the chat indignantly.
Last semester, she thought that her prestige and ability were not as good as Su Zelin's, but she could at least save some face in her grades because she was quite lazy. She often studied on her own and her grades were relatively good in the class. However, when she returned to school and learned about Su Zelin's grades in various subjects, she was stunned.
It's okay that I got full marks in "College English", and I also got full marks in "Political Economy", "Ideology and Moral Cultivation and Legal Basis", and "Computer Culture Foundation". Only my score in Advanced Mathematics was a little bit low, but it was still 97.
The class beauty was deeply shocked and her mentality collapsed on the spot. Her grades were pretty good in the class, but compared with Su Zelin, she was defeated in seconds.
In every exam this semester, the slacker was the first one to hand in the paper and leave. Just like last semester, he probably did very easily in the exam. Even though the results haven't come out yet, Luo Xi didn't dare to hold out any hope.
"If hard work is useful, then what is the use of genius?"
Su Zelin smiled, and a sense of dignity emerged spontaneously.
"Okay, squad leader, I know you're awesome. You're really good at boasting!"
Luo Xi rolled his eyes.
But I have to admit that there are geniuses in the world, and I have met such a monster.
I used to think that the students with the best academic performance in high school were geniuses, but now it seems that is not the case.
Those high school students with excellent academic performance are certainly smart, and their ability to excel is also due to their daily efforts.
However, Su Zelin has never worked hard and is still very fierce.
With such a comparison, the gap between the two sides is revealed.
Edison once said: "Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration!"
Luo Xi has always regarded this as his life motto.
However, because of the appearance of Su Zelin, she felt that she was deceived by Edison.
Maybe it is true that genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration, but that 1% inspiration is far more important than 99% perspiration!
Otherwise, with so many people putting in countless efforts and sweating, why are there so few Edisons
Because those people lack that one percent of inspiration!
Although I don't like seeing those scoundrels showing off, there's nothing I can do about it, but they have the capital to do so.
But due to my limited talent, I can't pretend even if I want to. I'm not that good at it.
After everyone chatted for a while, Yao Hui came.
This class meeting was just a routine final summary, praising the excellent performance of the Finance Management Class 1 in the last semester, and explaining some holiday safety precautions, etc. There was nothing special.
After one class period, the class meeting ended and students 302 and others left the classroom. At this time, Ding Lina caught up with them.
The Five Villains knew that the two were going to do some private work again, so they just left tactfully.
"Class monitor, what activities are planned during the summer vacation?"
Nanako said with a smile.
"Haha, what else can I plan? I'll just play games online or read comic novels every day, and occasionally hang out with my gay friends."
Su Zelin responded casually.
"That's it?"
Ding Lina asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Boss Su, don't you do anything else?"
"Nana, what else is there to do?"
Su Zelin asked back.
"For example, you can come to Ri Zhao to play with me. I'm bored at home during the summer vacation anyway."
Ding Lina threw him a wink.
"Are you an escort?"
The gangster's eyes lit up.
"As long as you dare to come, I can have four companions!"
Nanako risked her life.
"Um, let's talk about this later, let's talk about it later..."
Su Zelin wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Tsk, I knew you were just good at talking, but you have the heart but no guts!"
Ding Lina rolled her eyes at him and said with disdain: "Forget it, let me talk to you about something serious. Does Boss Su have any good investment projects?"
Su Zelin was slightly stunned: "Why are you asking this?"
"Didn't you use my money to invest during last winter break? You made a lot of money in a few months and even paid it back twice as much later."
"That money has been sitting in my bank card all this time, and I don't need it for much, so I was wondering if Boss Su could help me manage it in the future. I don't ask for much, just give me a share of the profits, and if I lose money, it's also mine!"
At this point, Nanazi smiled and said, "Of course, I believe in Boss Su's vision. It will not be wrong to grab you!"
Su Zelin said in embarrassment: "Ah, well, I do have some ways to make money, but I usually don't manage other people's finances. I just happened to be short of capital last time."
Ding Lina leaned close to his ear, exhaled sweetly, and whispered: "This holiday I will learn more special skills, such as yoga and massage!"
"Nana, it's a good thing to learn more and enrich yourself!"
The bastard coughed dryly and said, "Oh, that's right, I haven't finished talking just now. I usually don't manage other people's finances, but since we're good friends, it's a different matter. When you have time, transfer that money to me. I guarantee that it will become a hen that keeps laying eggs!"
Nana was delighted: "Thank you, squad leader. From now on, I will officially be with you, a rich man. Please take care of me!"
Su Zelin thought to himself, you don’t have to thank me, just don’t expose me when I pick up pens.
…
Because the holiday was coming soon, Su Zelin went to the digital store that evening and called a meeting with the employees.
The first is to pay wages and mainly to tell students when to return to school for the next semester.
The peak period for computer allocation will come as soon as the school starts, and New Century will have promotional activities at that time, so all part-time college students have to come back early to prepare for the activities.
During the holidays, digital stores are open as usual. Although there should be no business in the past two months, people have to watch over the store. After all, the dozens of trial machines inside are still very valuable.
A few regular employees just need to take turns on duty, and they will get paid as usual. They also have to take turns to keep watch at night, and overtime pay will be calculated separately. It’s the same at Zhejiang University.
After the meeting, Su Zelin found Liu Wanyin and asked, "Wanyin, when do you plan to go home?"
"I plan to go back the day after tomorrow, and I can help my dad with more work."
Liu Wanyin smiled brightly.
This semester, she earned more than 2,000 yuan in the digital store.
This income is extremely important for a poor family and it greatly reduces the pressure on my father.
"It's your duty to help your family with housework, but don't overwork yourself. Oh, and here's one more thing!"
Su Zelin stuffed a big bag into Liu Wanyin's hands: "This is some milk cereal I bought for the old lady and your brothers and sisters. Take it back to supplement their nutrition!"
"Squad leader, I..."
"Hey, don't refuse. I'm giving it to the old lady and your brothers and sisters. Of course, you can also eat some occasionally."
Liu Wanyin's eyes became moist.
The monitor is really nice.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how to repay him.
If there is an afterlife, I would be willing to work like a slave for you.
…
After saying goodbye to Liu Wanyin, Su Zelin walked back to the dormitory, thinking in his heart.
The day after tomorrow is officially a holiday, so I have to go home early.
Huang Panpan is about to take the college entrance examination.
Before the exam, go to No. 2 Middle School to meet your junior and give her some encouragement!
